A/C Clutch gap 2003 Navigator
Hey guys,
I am going to replace the ac clutch on my Navigator.
I searched on FTE and couldnt find anything about the gap on the Naviagtor.
Is the clutch gap supposed to be the same as most I have search and read about? That is I have seen where on most Ford's the gap should be around .030.
Thanks for your help
Brian

Thanks project SHO, lsrx101
Yes I did see the FAQ you were talking about SHO.
I also read on the forum that: "Normal clutch gap is 0.014-0.030" (But that does vary slightly by model)".
So I figured I would ask what my specific vehicle's gap was. It just seemed that (this is from just gapping plugs all my years) 0.014-0.030 was a large margin of error much more larger than what a spark plug requires.
So reading the above quote and knowing plugs are gapped with alot closer tolerances, I was asking what my specific vehicle's gap tolerance was. Thats why I had asked for the specifics. Maybe I should have been more specific, but was at a loss for words (brain farts is what I call it LOL) when I wrote my post above.

It's a large range because it is a clutch disc - a wear item. They generally start out at the tight end of the range, and then will still work after a fair amount of wear (until about 0.030"). Most models are in that range, at least for Ford. If you get about 0.015-0.020" after readjusting, you should be good for a long time.
